I spoke with a guy today who confirmed my suspician that this hut is no longer standing. It can be recorded as removed/gone.

This hut may well have collapsed? We found the sawmill remains and some crumpled corrugated iron though no standing hut. I also found a different hut site just under 1km downstream. Hutty and I may go back and have another look as yet another nearby hut site is marked on an old map and we have not checked it out yet.
